If I remember correctly Mormons also baptist ancestors - their own and others. I'm guessing this is what Gamecock is referring to.

So the comparison breaks down on several counts.

If I remember correctly Catholics do penance for their ancestors in order to get them released from purgatory and Mormons baptize their ancestors in order to get them released from purgatory, so the comparison appears to be quite apropos.
